Best travel sized beauty kits

From shower gels to makeup remover, packing for a holiday can be stressful, especially if you are short on space.

And to top it all off, there are excess baggage charges if you end up overdoing it.

Luckily, a whole host of beauty brands are offering travel sized kits that take the hard work out of your packing.

Here are 8 of the best.
